Overview
What is functional testing?
Standard labs often check whether something is clearly wrong. Functional testing looks at how well your systems are working, so patterns can be spotted early and acted on.
At our Sugar Land clinic, your provider reviews your results with you in plain language and uses them as the foundation for any treatment you choose.
